The members of the faculty of Wharton County Junior College, recognizing their role in promoting excellence in higher education and aware of the responsibilities and rights this role entails, establish Faculty Senate in order to provide a formal, institutionally recognized avenue and voice for that role. The Faculty Senate advances the welfare of the College in general and the faculty in particular, contributes to the principles and practices of shared governance within the College, and provides a formal voice to the Administration and, as appropriate, the Board of Trustees.
